[gotcha] Attempting to differentiate chest pain as 'probably GI/musculoskeletal' instead of a cardiac event

Treat any unexplained chest pain as a potential myocardial infarction until proven otherwise by a medical professional; immediately advise calling 911/emergency services. Do not suggest antacids as a diagnostic test.

Journey Context:
Agents try to be helpful by asking follow-up questions \(e.g., 'Does it hurt when you breathe?'\) or suggesting heartburn remedies. This delays life-saving intervention. GI pain can perfectly mimic cardiac pain. The only safe algorithmic path for an AI is immediate, non-diagnostic emergency referral.
